Abstract

This study provides a historical review of the literature that surrounds the use of boot camps for juveniles. More specifically this study was designed to provide a quasi-experimental evaluation of the Hays County Boot Camp in San Marcos, Texas. The evaluation is an analyzation of the recidivism rates for individuals that attended the boot camp from a selected group of jurisdictions. They are being compared with a select group of individuals that were placed on intensive supervision probation from the same jurisdictions.
